Think cookies exchange but with handmade items. Each person brings 20 handmade items to share and leaves with 20 new items made by other guests!
***To keep things fair we ask that all handmade items have a $10 resale value.

Maybe you have already got a few sneak peaks on our Instagram, twitter and Facebook pages. (Don't forget to follow us while your there) We are so very blessed to have such amazing suporters who came out to support NYMCM and other like minded crafty people. The day started at the wonderful and amazingly beautiful Sew To Speak ( a NYMCM sponsor) in Clintonville, Columbus!  As exchangers started to pile in it didn't take them long at all to start admiring all the AMAZING fabric! And do they have AMAZING fabric. And trims. And project samples from future classes.  Ummm Ummm Good.

Any who, after some great shopping the crafters grabbed their sassy little name tags (tutorial later this week)  and some yummy snack and made their way to their seat in the sharing circle. Ok I didn't really call it the sharing circle in front of anyone but with no one here to give me a "weirdo" look Im going to call it that:)

Things quickly got moving as all the crafters took turns standing up and sharing a little ditty about themselves, what they do, and if they had one about their businesses. And can I just say the talent did not stay home! What a great group of gals. The group was a mix of hobby crafters, professional crafters and artists. Items exchanged was an eclectic arrange of jewelry, other accessories, and home goods. Here is where I sill just shut up and "show you the money!
